Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) has announced its squad for the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season. The captaincy of this 16-member team has once again been handed over to Mayank Agarwal. Karnataka’s performance in domestic cricket has been quite good for some time now but the team has failed to win the trophy. However, Karnataka players would definitely like to leave their mark in the upcoming season.

Apart from Mayank Agarwal, brilliant players Manish Pandey, Shreyas Gopal, Prasidh Krishna and Devdutt Padikkal will also be seen performing well in the team, while Lavneet Sisodia and Sujay Sateri have been included in the team as wicketkeeper batsmen. The fast bowling lineup of the team is also strong. However, Karnataka State Cricket Association has not included Rahul Dravid’s son Samit Dravid in the team.
